Ceist:115 Mr. Finucane asked the Minister for Education whether he intends to change the regulations which apply to the higher education grants scheme whereby applicants, who discontinue their studies and recommence again after a time lapse, are confined to the higher education grants scheme that was in force in the year in which the applicant did the leaving certificate, even though the criteria for eligibility are based on the current income of the applicants; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
